“Reset”: Russia scraps law enforcement deal with Washington
Moscow is unhappy with a law passed by the United States last year imposing sanctions on alleged Russian human rights abusers. It has responded with a bill imposing similar measures and banning the adoption of Russian children by U.S. families.
The agreement on cooperation in law enforcement and drug control, the statement said, outlined financial assistance provided by the United States for Russian law enforcement and narcotics control programs.

Of course! гибкость! Just as promised, now that it’s “after the election.”
Let it be the policy of the day. In fact, let’s send them a new button, saying… what was it again… ah yes, “глупость.” They can push it and get all of the глупость they want out of Washington.
